This resin can be reused, so definitely put it back into its container. Open up the container, and put a funnel into the opening. It's ideal if the funnel has a mesh filter. Slowly pour the uncured resin from the vat back into the container until the vat is empty.
Is resin more expensive than filament? While resin prints are more detailed in general, the cost of purchasing resin compared to filament is higher, and can often be over double the cost of filament per print.
The main effects of overexposure are irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin, skin allergies, and asthma. The solvent additives can cause other effects such as headaches, dizziness, and confusion. Lungs: Vapors and spray mists of most epoxy resin system chemicals can irritate your lungs.
Epoxy and resin can be poisonous if they are swallowed or their fumes are breathed in.
It could take ten days of exposure, a month, or even years. It is best to avoid all exposure because you cannot know ahead of time how much you can tolerate before you become allergic. Allergic reactions to epoxy can result in irritated skin or respiratory problems.
They can create contact dermatitis, which is a surface rash that could develop into an allergy if you expose yourself to resin for long periods of time. Resins also naturally give off fumes, and unless you work in a well-ventilated area, molecules from the fumes will get into your lungs and cause irritation there, too.
However, the good news is that the vast majority of UV curable 3D printing resins are not very volatile and would not require a mask when using the printer in a well ventilated area.
ArtResin is non-toxic when used as directed.
This is entirely unique for an epoxy resin, as most formulas require scary warning labels to let users know the product is poisonous, carcinogenic and/or hazardous to the environment.
Serious health problems can result from sanding epoxy before it is fully cured. When you inhale these dust particles, they become trapped in the mucus lining of your respiratory system. The reactive material can cause severe respiratory irritation and/or respiratory allergies.
When epoxy fumes are inhaled, they can affect the nose, throat, and lungs. Most symptoms from the inhalation of epoxy involve inflammation and therefore irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs. Repetitive and high amounts of exposure to these fumes can result in sensitization and asthma.
